This report presents the analysis of the anticipated traffic impacts of the proposed 30 Ted Turner Driveconceptual unified development plan located in the City of Atlanta, Georgia. The approximate 27-acreproperty is bordered by Centennial Olympic Park Drive, Mitchell Street, Richard B. Russell Plaza,Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Ted Turner Drive, and portions of Marietta Street and Forsyth Street. Theproperty proposes a development over structured parking to create a robust transit-orienteddevelopment adjacent to two MARTA stations: Five Points and Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/CNNCenter. This development provides the opportunity to connect the Downtown core and provide directpedestrian connections between Philips Arena, Mercedes Benz Stadium, GWCC, CNN Center andCastleberry Hills with the Five Points MARTA station and downtown Atlanta. The project site currentlyconsists primarily of surface parking lots, the CNN Center deck, and freight rail right-of-way. The lack ofcurrent development and the limited connectivity of streets within the project site leads to poor vehicularand pedestrian connectivity.
The project is a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) and is subject to Georgia RegionalTransportation Authority (GRTA) and Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) review due to the projectsize exceeding 600,000 SF of mixed-use development in a Regional Center area type, as determinedby the Atlanta Regional Commission’s Unified Growth Policy Map (UGPM). The DRI trigger for thisdevelopment was the submittal of the special administrative permit (SAP) with the City of Atlanta onNovember 20, 2017. The DRI was formally triggered with the filing of the Initial DRI Information (Form1) on November 29, 2017 by the City of Atlanta. The DRI Pre-Review/Methodology meeting occurredon August 28, 2017 with a follow-up meeting on October 3, 2017.
The proposed project is expected to be completed by 2027. The development will sit over structuredparking and provide the opportunity to create an elevated street grid that connects the surroundingareas. The project program will consist of the following land uses and densities:
Residential: 1,000 unitsHotel: 1,500 roomsOffice: 9,350,000 SFShopping Center: 1,000,000 SF
The DRI analysis includes an estimation of the overall trips projected to be generated by thedevelopment, also known as gross trips. Reductions to gross trips are also considered in the analysis,including mixed-use reductions, alternative transportation mode reductions, and pass-by trip reductions.
Mixed-use reductions occur when a site has a combination of different land uses that interact with oneanother. For example, people working in an office development or people living in the residentialdevelopment may walk to the retail and restaurants instead of driving off-site. This reduces the numberof vehicle trips that will be made on the roadway, thus reducing traffic congestion. These types ofinteractions are expected at the 30 Ted Turner Drive development.
Alternative mode reductions are taken when a site can be accessed by modes other than vehicles(walking, bicycling, transit, etc.). As the 30 Ted Turner Drive development is located in close proximityto transit with increased pedestrian facilities, a 31.1% alternative mode reduction was taken forresidential and retail land uses, and a 36.4% alternative mode reduction was taken for the office landuse. These reductions are consistent with GRTA’s Letter of Understanding (LOU) dated November 1,2017. The center of the project site is located less than 0.2 miles from the Dome/GWCC/PhilipsArena/CNN Center MARTA Rail Station, which is served by the Blue and Green lines. The center of theproject site is located approximately 0.25 miles from the Five Points MARTA Rail Station, which isserved by the Blue, Green, Red and Gold lines, MARTA Bus Route #3, #14, #32, #42, #49, #51, #74,
and #155 with service seven days a week. The proposed development will provide a direct pedestrianconnection between the two previously mentioned MARTA Rail Stations. The proposed development isanticipated to significantly improve pedestrian connectivity both on-site and between multiple adjacentproperties, creating a safe and expanded pedestrian environment.
Pass-by reductions are taken for retail trips only. Traffic normally traveling along a roadway maychoose to visit a retail establishment that is along the vehicle’s original path. These trips were alreadyon the road and would therefore only be new trips at the driveways. It is anticipated that there will bevehicular pass-by trips for retail only.
Capacity analyses were performed throughout the study network for the Existing 2017 conditions, theProjected 2027 No-Build conditions, and the Projected 2027 Build conditions.
· Existing 2017 conditions represent traffic volumes that were collected in August 2017,September 2017, and November 2017 by performing AM and PM peak hour turning movementcounts.
· Projected 2027 No-Build conditions represent the existing traffic volumes grown for ten (10)years at 1.0 percent per year throughout the study network.
· Projected 2027 Build conditions represent the Projected 2027 No-Build conditions plus theaddition of the project trips that are anticipated to be generated by the 30 Ted Turner Drivedevelopment. Also included are the eighteen (18) site access driveways in addition to theexisting study network intersections.
Findings of the Traffic Study
The traffic study was completed with the baseline conditions as previously mentioned, as well as analternatives analysis that provides options for mitigation by means of Transportation DemandManagement and roadway improvements (addressed in Section 6.4). The alternative analysisincorporates the following changes:
· Increased alternative mode reduction of 46.4% for the office land use and 41.1% for residentialand retail land uses (increase of 10% from the baseline conditions).
· 25% reduction of the AM/PM peak hour trip generation for the office land use.
The increase in alternative mode reduction acknowledges the expanded transit promotion that will be apart of this development as well as the increased pedestrian connectivity. A 10% increase in alternativemodes is considered to be a conservative assumption.
The reduction of the AM and PM peak hour trip generation for the office land use acknowledges thepromotion of alternative work schedules through flex days and flexible hours. Flexible days may includetelecommuting or condensed work weeks. Flexible hours lead to a spreading out of peak hour traffic ascommuters may arrive and leave early or late to avoid the times of peak congestions.
Based on the analysis of Projected 2027 Build Alternative conditions (includes background trafficgrowth and includes the projected 30 Ted Turner Drive project traffic with the alternative methodologyas discussed above), the following geometric intersection improvements would be needed in order forall study intersections to operate at or above acceptable levels-of-service:
· Intersection #5: Ted Turner Drive at Martin Luther King Jr. Driveo Restripe south leg of intersection to include one (1) shared left-turn/through lane, two (2)
exclusive through lanes and one (1) southbound egress lane.o Restripe east leg of intersection to include one (1) westbound shared left-turn/through
lane, one (1) westbound exclusive through lane, and one (1) westbound exclusive right-turn lane.
· Intersection #9: Forsyth Street at Alabama Streeto Add protected/permissive phasing for the northbound left-turn movement.
· Intersection #11: Forsyth Street at Marietta Streeto Construct one (1) exclusive eastbound left-turn lane.
· Intersection #12: Ted Turner Drive at Peters Street / Trinity Avenueo Restripe east leg of intersection to include one (1) exclusive westbound left-turn lane,
one (1) westbound through lane, one (1) westbound channelized right-turn lane, and one(1) eastbound egress lane.
· Intersection #13: Ted Turner Drive at Mitchell Streeto Restripe the southbound approach to provide an exclusive left-turn lane and a shared
through/right-turn lane.
Additional Considerations
The DRI traffic study was performed with the assumption that the existing traffic signal infrastructurewould still be in place at the build-out of the 30 Ted Turner Drive development. It is anticipated thatintelligent transportation system improvements may be added to the traffic signal infrastructure in thevicinity of the development that would help mitigate future congestion. The City of Atlanta, under theleadership of the Renew Atlanta bond program, is implementing state of the art traffic managementcontrol to improve traffic operations during peak activity. While the advancements to traffic control wereinitially implemented in response to special events at Philips Arena, Mercedes Benz Stadium, and theGeorgia World Conference Center, peak hour travel will experience benefits as well. A memorandumfrom Renew Atlanta is included in Appendix F.
1.1 IntroductionThis report presents the analysis of the anticipated traffic impacts of the proposed 30 Ted Turner Drivemixed-use development located in the City of Atlanta, Georgia. The approximate 27-acre site currentlyconsists of surface parking lots, the CNN Center deck, and other parking facilities.
The project will exceed 600,000 square feet of mixed-use development within a Region Center areatype and therefore, the proposed development is a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) and issubject to Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA)review.
Figure 1 provides the location map of the 30 Ted Turner Drive development, Figure 2 provides a siteaerial showing the project site and surrounding area, and Figure 3 provides a zoomed-in bird’s eyeview of the project site. The City of Atlanta Zoning Ordinance Map and ARC’s Unified Growth PolicyMap (UGPM) are included in Appendix A.
The proposed project is expected to be completed by 2027, and this analysis considers the full build-out of the proposed site in 2027. A summary of the proposed land-uses and densities is provided belowin Table 1.
1.2 Site Plan ReviewThe project site currently consists of surface parking lots, the CNN Center deck, and other parkingfacilities. Per the City of Atlanta Zoning Ordinance Map, the majority of the project site is zoned SpecialPublic Interest (SPI) 1-Sub-area 1 with two parcels zoned Mixed residential and commercial (MRC-2-Cand MRC-3-C). Per ARC’s Unified Growth Policy Map (UGPM), the project site is located in a RegionalCenter area type. Additionally, the project site is within and adheres to the recommendations of themost recent Downtown Atlanta LCI (2009) program and is consistent with the Downtown AtlantaTransportation Plan.
A reference of the proposed site plan is provided in Appendix B. A full-sized site plan consistent withGRTA’s Site Plan Guidelines is also being submitted as part of the review package.
1.3 Site AccessThe site will be served by five (5) driveways along Centennial Olympic Park Drive (one of which will bealigned with Andrew Young International), four (4) driveways along Ted Turner Drive, two (2) drivewaysalong Forsyth Street (one of which is the Alabama Street access to the parking deck), four (4)driveways along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, two (2) driveways along Mitchell Street, and one (1)driveway along Marietta Street. Proposed site driveways and parking deck entrances are shown on thesite plan.
The site driveways mentioned above provide access to all parking for the site and serve the internalelevated and grade level street network. A considerable portion of the existing parking facilities withinthe study network will be replaced as a part of this development, most significantly the CNN Centerparking deck. Parking will be replaced on-site in proposed parking decks. Parking decks will largely bebelow the elevated street level. The proposed parking will serve the proposed development as well asreplace a considerable portion of the current parking uses being displaced. As currently envisioned,approximately 8,000 spaces will be provided within the parking structures for the 30 Ted Turner Drivedevelopment. The intent is to provide minimal parking to promote use of alternative modes oftransportation, reducing the need for single occupancy vehicle use. The 30 Ted Turner Drivedevelopment is located in a Region Center area type and shared parking will be utilized on the projectsite where permitted.
The master plan is still in a very conceptual stage. As such, there is still potential for the number andlocation of driveways to change. The intent of this study is to present a conservative analysis of themajor driveways planned for the site. Additionally, minor driveways may be added to the site as theproject evolves.
1.4 Bicycle and Pedestrian FacilitiesThe project site is located in Downtown Atlanta, adjacent to Philips Arena, Mercedes Benz Stadium,GWCC, CNN Center and Castleberry Hills in an area with continuing increase in pedestrian andbicyclist facilities. Pedestrian facilities (sidewalks) currently exist along the project site frontage. Thedevelopment will provide pedestrian connectivity throughout the area, most notably a direct pedestrianconnection between the Dome/GWCC/Phillips Arena/CNN Center MARTA Rail Station and the FivePoints MARTA Rail Station at street level. The development will sit over structured parking and providethe opportunity to create an elevated street grid and an on-site pedestrian grid that connects thesurrounding areas.
1.5 Transit FacilitiesThe center of the project site is located less than 0.2 miles from the Dome/GWCC/Phillips Arena/CNNCenter MARTA Rail Station, which is served by the Blue and Green lines. The center of the project siteis located approximately 0.25 miles from the Five Points MARTA Rail Station, which is served by the
Blue, Green, Red and Gold lines, MARTA Bus Route #3, #14, #32, #42, #49, #51, #74, and #155 withservice seven days a week. The proposed development will provide a pedestrian connection betweenthe two previously mentioned MARTA Rail Stations and enhanced pedestrian access directly from thesite to each MARTA station. The project site will have pedestrian facilities internal and along theperimeter and the proposed development is anticipated to significantly improve pedestrian connectivity,creating a safe and expanded pedestrian environment. The direct connections to both the Five PointsMARTA Rail Station and the Dome MARTA Rail Station provides the potential to create a robust transit-oriented mixed-use development by bringing a high level of density to the urban core.
2.0 TRAFFIC ANALYSES, METHODOLOGY AND ASSUMPTIONS
2.1 Growth RateBackground traffic is defined as expected traffic on the roadway network in future year(s) absent theconstruction and opening of the proposed project. Background traffic can include a base growth ratebased on historical count data as well as population growth data and estimates as well as tripsanticipated from nearby or adjacent other projects. Based on methodology outlined in the GRTA Letterof Understanding (LOU), a 1.0 percent per year for ten (10) years background traffic growth rate wasused for all roadways. This background growth rate was used to account for other development activityin the area.
2.2 Traffic Data CollectionWeekday peak hour turning movement counts were collected on Tuesday, August 22, 2017,Wednesday, August 30, 2017, Tuesday, September 19, 2017, and Wednesday, November 1, 2017 atthe study intersections from 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM for the AM peak period and from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PMfor the PM peak period.

The collected peak hour turning movement traffic counts are available upon request.
2.3 Detailed Intersection AnalysisLevel-of-service (LOS) is used to describe the operating characteristics of a road segment orintersection in relation to its capacity. LOS is defined as a qualitative measure that describesoperational conditions and motorists’ perceptions within a traffic stream. The Highway Capacity Manualdefines six levels-of-service, LOS A through LOS F, with A being the best and F being the worst. Level-of-service analyses were conducted at all intersections within the study network using SynchroProfessional, Version 9.0.
Existing traffic signal phasing and timing data were retrieved from the Downtown Traffic OperationsProgram (DTOP) for signalized intersections. Existing traffic signal timing data was used in the Existing2017 conditions. Signal timings were optimized using Synchro Professional, Version 9.0 for Projected2027 Build conditions, and all improved conditions.
Levels-of-service for signalized intersections are reported for the intersection as a whole. One or moremovements at an intersection may experience a lower level-of-service, while the intersection as awhole may operate acceptably. Levels-of-service for unsignalized intersections, with stop control on theminor street only, are reported for the side street approaches and the major street left-turn movements.Low levels-of-service for side street approaches are not uncommon, as vehicles may experiencesignificant delays in turning onto a major roadway.
3.1 Gross Trip GenerationTraffic for the proposed land uses and densities were calculated using methodology contained in theInstitute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, Ninth Edition. Gross tripsgenerated are displayed below in Table 3.

3.2 Trip DistributionThe directional distribution and assignment of new project trips was based on the project land uses, areview of the land use densities and road facilities in the area, engineering judgment, and methodologydiscussions with the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA), Atlanta Regional Commission(ARC), Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), and the City of Atlanta.
3.3 Level-of-Service StandardsFor the purposes of this traffic analysis, a level-of-service standard of E was assumed for allintersections and segments within the study network. Consistent with the Letter of Understanding, thisLOS standard is due to the location in the Regional Center, City Center and Region Core according tothe Atlanta Regional Commission’s Unified Growth Policy Map.
3.4 Study Network DeterminationA general study area was determined based on a review of land uses and population densities in thearea as well as a review of peak hour traffic counts and engineering judgement. The study area wasagreed upon during methodology discussions with GRTA, ARC, GDOT, and City of Atlanta staff, andincludes the following fourteen (14) intersections described in Table 4.
The study network includes thirteen (13) signalized intersection and one (1) unsignalized intersectionas noted in Table 4. The study intersections are shown in Figure 4.

Each of the above listed intersections was analyzed for the Existing 2017 conditions, the Projected2027 No-Build conditions, and the Projected 2027 Build conditions. The Projected 2027 No-Buildconditions represent the existing traffic volumes grown for ten (10) years at 1.0 percent per yearthroughout the study network. The Projected 2027 Build conditions represent the existing trafficvolumes grown for ten (10) years at 1.0 percent per year throughout the study network and the projecttrips associated with the 30 Ted Turner Drive Development.

4.0 TRIP GENERATIONAs stated previously, gross trips associated with the proposed development were estimated using theInstitute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, Ninth Edition, 2012 , usingequations where available. Trip generation for this proposed development is calculated based upon thefollowing land uses: High-Rise Apartment (ITE #222), Hotel (ITE #310), General Office Building (ITE#710), and Shopping Center (ITE #820).
Mixed-use vehicle trip reductions were taken according to the ITE Trip Generation Handbook, ThirdEdition, 2014. Because the Third Edition does not include guidance on daily internal capture, theSecond Edition, 2004 was used. Total internal capture and vehicle trip reduction between the land usesis expected to be 9.8% daily, 9.2% for the AM peak hour and 5.5% for the PM peak hour as a result ofthe anticipated interaction between the residential, office, and retail land uses within the proposeddevelopment.
Due to the 30 Ted Turner Drive development being located in close proximity to transit, pedestrian, andbicycle facilities, an alternative transportation (walking, bicycle, and transit) reduction was applied forthe 30 Ted Turner Drive project trips. An alternative transportation mode reduction of 31.1% and36.4%, was applied to residential and retail land uses and office land use, respectively, consistent withGRTA’s Letter of Understanding.
In accordance with the GRTA LOU, pass-by reductions were taken according to the ITE TripGeneration Handbook, Third Edition, 2014 for the retail land use.
The total (net) trips generated and analyzed in this report are listed in Table 6.
Net New Trips 46,692 23,346 23,346 5,511 4,553 958 8,605 2,081 6,524
A more detailed trip generation analysis summary table is provided in Appendix C.
5.0 TRIP DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENTNew trips were distributed onto the roadway network using the percentages developed as described inSection 3.2 of this report, and as agreed to during methodology discussions with GRTA, ARC, GDOT,and City of Atlanta staff.
Figure 5A and Figure 5B display the anticipated distribution and assignment of the residential projecttrips and Figure 5C and Figure 5D display the anticipated distribution and assignment of the non-residential project trips throughout the study roadway network. These trip assignment percentageswere applied to the net new trips expected to be generated by the development, and the volumes wereassigned to the roadway network. The combined peak hour project trips by turning movementthroughout the study network, anticipated to be generated by the proposed 30 Ted Turner Drivedevelopment, are shown in Figure 6A and Figure 6B.

6.3 Projected 2027 Build ConditionsThe traffic associated with the proposed 30 Ted Turner Drive development was added to the Projected2027 No-Build volumes. These volumes were then entered into Synchro 9.0, and capacity analyseswere performed. The Projected 2027 Build conditions were analyzed using the proposed laneage andintersection control types shown in the DRI site plan.
The intersection laneage and traffic volumes used for the Projected 2027 Build conditions are shown inFigure 9A and Figure 9B. The results of the capacity analyses for the Projected 2027 Build conditionswith proposed laneage and control types at the study intersections are shown in Table 9. Projected2027 Build conditions with proposed laneage and control types at the site driveways are shown inTable 10. All Projected 2027 Build conditions were analyzed using optimized signal timings.

6.4 Projected 2027 Build Conditions – Alternative Analysis
A Projected 2027 Build Conditions – Alternative Analysis was performed as a method to mitigate trafficimpacts by measures other than roadway improvements. The central business district is geometricallyconstrained and traditional roadway improvements that require widening are not always feasible. Inorder to experience considerable economic growth in the urban core, travel patterns must shift to othermodes and off-peak times.
The higher alternative mode reduction was chosen to reflect an aggressive promotion by the applicantto NOT promote or focus on automobile traffic. The applicant is proposing to provide reduced parkingbased on the size of the development. The reduced parking as well as other measures ofTransportation Demand Management will encourage many users NOT to use their car. The purpose ofthis alternative analysis is to identify the development’s impact to the roadway network based on anelevated emphasis on alternative modes.
The proposed redevelopment is strategically located between two MARTA stations, Five Points andDome/GWCC/Phillips Arena/CNN Center Station. The applicant is committed to continuing a workingrelationship with MARTA. Improved access to the Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/CNN Center Station isproposed to include a new ticketing concourse on the south side of the station beneath CentennialOlympic Park Drive with vertical circulation on the development site to provide direct ingress andegress. This provides a direct connection to the existing MARTA station and reduces the potentialpedestrian crossings on Centennial Olympic Park Drive. Improved access is also proposed from theFive Points station from Forsyth Street to the development. A letter of support from MARTA is includedin Appendix F.
Additional physical measures being considered to encourage alternative modes include:· Providing portals in the lobbies and elevators with real time transit and weather information.· Providing one-site wayfinding and signage to/from transit stops/stations.· Providing bicycle valet or racks within furniture zones, parking decks and buildings for
employees, customers, and residents.· Providing long-term secure bicycle parking located adjacent to building entrances.· Providing shower/changing facilities for all office tenants.· Providing bike share programs on-site.· Providing dedicated ride-share drop-off and pick-up zones.· Providing dedicated local and regional bus drop-off and pick-up zones.
Program and policy measures that are being considered to encourage alternative modes:· Providing an on-site transportation coordinator or mobility concierge to facilitate alternative
modes.· Providing preferential parking spaces for vanpool riders.· Providing a carpool or vanpool matching service to help employees or residents locate
carpool/vanpool partners.· Requiring office tenants to provide or subsidize MARTA passes (or other transit agencies) for
their employees through their lease agreements.· Providing an electric bicycle program for residential tenants.· Unbundling parking for residents, requiring users to pay costs directly.· Providing Zipcar or other car-sharing service.· Encouraging the use of shuttles or circulators from urban and suburban centers to the site.· Encouraging telecommute or alternative work arrangements –
o Flexible/Staggered Work Hourso Compressed and alternative work week
The alternative analysis incorporates the following changes:· Increased alternative mode reduction of 46.4% for the office land use and 41.1% for residential
and retail land uses (increase of 10% from baseline methodology).· 25% reduction of the AM/PM peak hour trip generation for the office land use.
The increase in alternative mode reduction acknowledges the expanded transit promotion that will be apart of this development as well as the increased pedestrian connectivity. A 10% increase in alternativemodes is considered to be a conservative assumption.
The reduction of the AM and PM peak hour trip generation for the office land use acknowledges thepromotion of alternative work schedules through flex days and flexible hours. Flexible days may includetelecommuting or condensed work weeks. Flexible hours lead to a spreading out of peak hour traffic ascommuters may arrive and leave early or late to avoid the times of peak congestions.
The intersection laneage and traffic volumes used for the Projected 2027 Build Alternative conditionsare shown in Figure 11. The results of the capacity analyses for the Projected 2027 Build Alternativeconditions with proposed laneage and control types are shown in Table 12. Detailed Synchro analysisreports are available upon request.
The Projected 2027 Build Alternative conditions reflect the roadway improvements to meet the level-of-service standard. The following roadway improvements are in place of the off-site roadwayimprovements associated with the Projected 2027 Build conditions:
· Intersection #5: Ted Turner Drive at Martin Luther King Jr. Driveo Restripe south leg of intersection to include one (1) shared left-turn/through lane, two (2)
exclusive through lanes and one (1) southbound egress lane.o Restripe east leg of intersection to include one (1) westbound shared left-turn/through
lane, one (1) westbound exclusive through lane, and one (1) westbound exclusive right-turn lane.
· Intersection #9: Forsyth Street at Alabama Streeto Add protected/permissive phasing for the northbound left-turn movement.
· Intersection #11: Forsyth Street at Marietta Streeto Construct one (1) exclusive eastbound left-turn lane.
· Intersection #12: Ted Turner Drive at Peters Street / Trinity Avenueo Restripe east leg of intersection to include one (1) exclusive westbound left-turn lane,
one (1) westbound through lane, one (1) westbound channelized right-turn lane, and one(1) eastbound egress lane.
· Intersection #13: Ted Turner Drive at Mitchell Streeto Restripe the southbound approach to provide an exclusive left-turn lane and a shared

7.0 INGRESS/EGRESS ANALYSISVehicular access to the 30 Ted Turner Drive development is proposed at five (5) driveways alongCentennial Olympic Park Drive (one of which will be aligned with Andrew Young International), four (4)driveways along Ted Turner Drive, two (2) driveways along Forsyth Street (one of which is the AlabamaStreet access to the parking deck), four (4) driveways along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, two (2)driveways along Mitchell Street, and one (1) driveway along Marietta Street. Proposed site drivewaysand parking deck entrances are shown on the site plan.
Capacity analyses were performed for the proposed site driveway intersections using Synchro 9.0. Theresults of the capacity analyses for this intersection (LOS, delay, and recommended laneage) arereported in Section 6.3 of this report.
8.0 IDENTIFICATION OF PROGRAMMED PROJECTSAccording to ARC’s Transportation Improvement Program, Regional Transportation ImprovementProgram, GDOT’s Construction Work Program, and the GA STIP the following projects areprogrammed or planned to be completed by the respective years. Note: additional programmedprojects may come out of the currently underway Downtown Atlanta Transportation Plan.
Table 13Programmed Projects
# CompletionDate Project ID Description
1 2030 AR-490A1 Atlanta Streetcar East Extension from Jackson Street toAtlanta Beltline/Irwin Street
2 TBD AT-277 Cycle Atlanta: Phase 1.0 – Bicycle MobilityImprovements – Including MLK Jr. Drive
3 TBD AT-309 MLK Jr. Drive Bridge Replacement Between ForsythStreet and Ted Turner Drive.
9.0 INTERNAL CIRCULATION ANALYSISThe proposed site driveways will provide access to buildings on the site. A detailed copy of theproposed site plan is provided in Appendix B and a full-sized site plan is included in the reportsubmittal.
Mixed-use vehicle trip reductions were taken according to the ITE Trip Generation Handbook, ThirdEdition, 2014. Because the Third Edition does not include guidance on daily internal capture, theSecond Edition, 2004 was used. Total internal capture and vehicle trip reduction between the land usesis expected to be 9.8% daily, 9.2% for the AM peak hour and 5.5% for the PM peak hour because ofthe anticipated interaction between the residential, office, and retail land uses within the proposeddevelopment.
10.0 COMPLIANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSISThe project site currently consists of surface parking lots, the CNN Center deck, and other parkingfacilities. Per the City of Atlanta Zoning Ordinance Map, the majority of the project site is zoned SpecialPublic Interest (SPI) 1-Sub-area1 with two parcels zoned Mixed residential and commercial (MRC-2-Cand MRC-3-C). Per ARC’s Unified Growth Policy Map (UGPM), the project site is located in a RegionalCenter area type. Additionally, the project site is within and adheres to the recommendations of themost recent Downtown Atlanta LCI (2009) program and is consistent with the Downtown AtlantaTransportation Plan.
11.0 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONSThe DRI traffic study was performed with the assumption that the existing traffic signal infrastructurewould still be in place at the build-out of the 30 Ted Turner Drive development. It is anticipated thatintelligent transportation system improvements may be added to the traffic signal infrastructure in thevicinity of the development that would help mitigate future congestion. The City of Atlanta, under theleadership of the Renew Atlanta bond program, is implementing state of the art traffic managementcontrol to improve traffic operations during peak activity. While the advancements to traffic control wereinitially implemented in response to special events at Philips Arena, Mercedes Benz Stadium, and theGeorgia World Conference Center, peak hour travel will experience benefits as well. A memorandumfrom Renew Atlanta is included in Appendix F.

Short Title CYCLE ATLANTA: PHASE 1.0 - BICYCLE MOBILITY IMPROVEMENTS
GDOT Project No. 0012593
Federal ID No. N/A
Status Programmed
Detailed Description and Justification
This project involves installing the bicycle facilities identified by the ARC-funded Cycle Atlanta: Phase 1.0 study. These facilities will support the existing and planned compact development in the central core of the city, as well as within the Atlanta BeltLine Planning Area, by supporting cycling as a mode of transportation between varied land uses. The five Core Bicycle Connection corridors from the Connect Atlanta Plan that will be analyzed under Phase 1.0 connect directly to 13 of the 38 MARTA heavy rail stations, providing enhanced connections between housing, services, employment opportunities and transit stations. The results of the study will identify methods to retrofit existing urban roadways with bicycle facilities in a context sensitive manner that protects the character and integrity of existing neighborhoods while meeting the needs of the community. Many of these study corridors overlap the ARC Bicycle Study Network, including West Marietta Street, Howell Mill Road, Peachtree Street, Lee Street and Martin Luther King, Jr Drive. Examples of the types of projects to be implemented can be found in the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide. The study will be completed and adopted by June 30, 2013. Project components are identified as Core Bicycle Connections and Secondary Bicycle Connections in the Connect Atlanta Plan. Portions of this project are located in defined Equitable Target Areas. The project is being funded under the Last Mile Connectivity Program, a regional program defined in PLAN 2040 to improve pedestrian and bicyclist mobility, accessibility and safety along transit corridors, within employment and commercial centers, and in the vicinity of other major origins and destinations such as schools.

November 10, 2017
Mr. Tim Keane Department of City Planning Office of the Commissioner 55 Trinity Avenue Suite 1450 Atlanta, GA 30303
Dear Commissioner Keane:
As Interim General Manager/CEO at the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), I would like to express my support for the proposed development by CIM in the south downtown Atlanta area, often referred to as "The Gulch." The development has the potential to increase MARTA ridership through improved MARTA rail station connections, as well as connections to the existing bus system and proposed Atlanta Streetcar expansion.
The project is planned to fully integrate with MARTA's heavy rail system at both the Dome/GWCC/Phillips Arena/CNN Center and Five Points Stations. Two new access points have been proposed by CIM. Access to the Dome/GWCC/Phillips Arena/CNN Center Station would include a new ticketing concourse on the south side of the station beneath Centennial Olympic Park Drive with vertical circulation along a retailed concourse to provide direct ingress and egress along the northern boundaries of the project. The second new access point is proposed at the Five Points Station west of Forsyth Street with a direct connection beneath Forsyth Street for ingress and egress at the northwest corner of the Station.
The More MARTA sales tax included a voter-approved project list, which includes a significant expansion of the Atlanta Streetcar throughout the City of Atlanta. Although the program of projects has yet to be identified, it is presumed that initial investments would be allocated towards expanding the existing Atlanta Streetcar both east and west. The planned western extension of the Atlanta Streetcar is proposed to run along the northern edge of the property along Centennial Olympic Park Drive, providing a variety of opportunities for connections to the project.
METROPOLITAN ATLANTA RAPID TRANSIT AUTHORITY I www.itsmorto.com
Page 2 November 10, 2017
Lastly, the project area is well served from the existing Broad Street bus mall and provides multiple street level access points to accommodate expansions of local or commuter bus services to the project and to the MARTA stations.
Transit project implementation is subject to Federal Transit Administration and MARTA Board of Directors approval.
We look forward to working in partnership with CIM to maximize transit access to their project. I appreciate your consideration and ask for your expeditious support for advancement of this project.
Sincerely,
~ /?? 0 .,),.U,U Elizabeth M. O'Neill Interim General Manager/CEO
